Blackberry Compote

Katelyn Theofanis
Blackberry Compote is a lovely addition to breakfast or dessert. Scoop atop pancakes, oatmeal, or yogurt. It's beautifully sweet and tart, which compliments a multitude of foods.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh blackberries rinsed
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, toss together the blackberries, lemon juice, sugar, and salt. Allow the mixture to sit for about 5 minutes to macerate.
  • Place the saucepan with the berry mixture over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Reduce the heat to low and allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced and thickened slightly.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool. Serve warm, or allow to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • The compote will continue to thicken as it cools. 
  • To freeze: Completely cool the compote. Transfer it to a freezer-safe bag or an airtight container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
